Self-Portrait, 1962
"In the summer of 1926, I went to work for Uncle Nakash at his (photographic) studio, burying my original desire to study medicine. While at first I did not realize it, everything connected with the art of photography captivated my interest and energy - it was to be not only my livelihood but my continuing passion."
